• Paterson made the comment Sunday on the “Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis” radio show.
• The former governor also said crime is still a top issue for New Yorkers in the 2022 midterm election cycle, and he hoped that candidates will take notice.
• “For the first time in my life  – even in the late ’80s and ’90s when the crime rate was killing 2,000 people a year, I never felt as unsafe as I do now just walking around,” Patterson said on the show. “You’re hearing about an assault on the subway almost every other day.”
• Paterson said New York Democrats’ “blind spot”on handling crime could lead to them suffering major losses in the November elections.
